The events that unfolded later were more or less what Xu Xin imagined.
Though the palace was still a stone palace at the time, it was filled with various traps. Despite Qin Fu's strong spiritual power, he remained vulnerable. He was attacked at the fourth trap and suffered a fatal injury.
Luckily, the passive burst state allowed him to recover, and with his spiritual power greatly enhanced once again, he managed to bypass all the traps and reached the third level thanks to his extraordinary reflexes.
"The trap at the entrance stairs on the third level nearly killed me..." Qin Fu remembered the situation at the time, his mouth twitching, "It's fortunate then that my spiritual power was strong, and luck was on my side. Although I was gravely injured, I still got through. Those palace traps are utterly absurd."
After arriving on the third level, he saw that door and immediately recalled the ancient bronze knife he had given to Xu Xin.
